In half an hour I surpassed my day's goal... so I'm going to relax and go down to the beach for the day... All I have to say is that it makes you feel a little weird when you short something at $53, get out for a 0.50 gain and then 13 minutes later, it is at $28 (BSC). Wowser... we just saw capitulation this morning, I wouldn't be surprised if the market finished higher for the day.

Rebuttal
Apparently, upset at his lack of trading skills, Michael (from Retardtrader.com) has decided to attack me, based on the fact I couldn't be a woman. Hmmm... makes sense to all the male chauvanists out there I guess.
My boyfriend Andy used to have a blog called Parrafund... actually I just overwrote his one with mine (thinking I would get more hits that way, but once the link changed, the old one didn't transfer). He lived down in Florida and has travelled alot for work. He sucked at trading... but was good at teaching... you know what they say, those who can't do it, teach.
I'm not actually a vet yet, but I am going to school for vet science (and Paige isn't my real name so don't bother trying to find me. Obviously, especially by what Mike has presented, you'd have to be crazy to use your real identity on the internet. Andy is also not Andy's name.)
The holy grail??? Are you kidding? That was the most sarcastic thing I've ever written... and anyone with half a brain worked that out. What i was saying was that NO mechanical system can be written, it's all about reading the tape and being disciplined (see post on new rules). Does one have to say everything explicitly?
Lastly, as I've said previously in my blog, I use my boyfriend's money to trade, hell I even use his account!! What, is that securities fraud? Probably... lol

Please read the attack in the link below - it's quite funny and well done actually... this guy really needs to find a job with a bounty hunter or something.

Wow, what a day??? After getting a late start and missing the first "surge", I managed to get destroyed on a few short trades and make "not enough" on quite a few more long ones... everything balance out really... Ok - shoulda, woulda, coulda syndrome setting in! I actually disbelieved the tape today... and tried to bet against it... so glad I had some gut-wrenching stops in there. Never try to predict the market, just react... lesson learnt (again!!!)
Until tomorrow... ;)

Good day. Not alot of trading. A couple of bonehead plays, but also a couple of good scalps.

Chart of the Day
Pretty self-expanatory... I didn't play the BSC capitulation all that well, but I was about to go for lunch and just took some well-timed scalps, most of them were for less than 10 seconds each... made quite a bit off them too.

Rules Update
Firstly I'd like to say that enjoy sarcasm and hope that others' enjoy it too. Holy grails obviously never work as mechanical systems, hence my sarcastic post last weekend about them. The only holy grail is goal setting, discipline and most of all apathy.
Rules Update:
1) BE APATHETIC TOWARDS THE MARKET!
2) No Sleeping on positions!!!
3) Stop Out when the setup gets negated.
4) Don't trade against reversals.
5) Take a break on a big loser.
6) ONLY trade my basket stocks EXCEPT on NEWS breakouts or breakdowns.
By the way, for the smartass out there who put me on HotorNot, using my own email address... I'm not really sure what to say about that? 92 isn't bad lol.

A wild day... way too much risk... Got out pretty well considering. Thank goodness for the weekend! It was still a good week.
-$630
At 1pm, took the 3 minute mini inverse pup, added some more on the 15 period touch, pared out for a good gain at the 20-band cross, then added some more on the 3 minute inv pup. Got out on the panic leans at 1:48pm for +0.50.
